One of the most sought after event planners in the US, and now the world, Jung Lee actually got her start in the food retail industry, overseeing the design, construction, and launch of a string of wildly successful high-end gourmet food stores. She then moved on to develop residential real estate just outside New York City, before finally channeling her passion for design, construction, and project management into events. Since launching her event production company Fête in 2002, Jung has starred on her own television show Wedded to Perfection and authored Fête: The Wedding Experience, which focuses on a modern approach to tackling events and includes stunning imagery from her portfolio of weddings.
